Since today is New Years Eve, I found it only fitting that I make a list of my goals for the upcoming year. Most of these are very attainable I just must stay focused! Well let me get to it!
- Redo our laundry room. - It's a small little area that I spend so much time in. I see it every single day! Sprucing it up and making it cute will hopefully motivate me to not only start a load of laundry but actually finish it by folding and putting the clothes away.
- Save $100 from each check. I want the money to go straight to savings so I never see it. My mom always tells me that "you won't miss it, if you don't see it!"
- Meal plan! - This is a must. When I was a single lady living with my little baby Malti-Poo, Max cereal at night was fine. I never cooked. I would every now and then bake but NEVER cooked dinner. It was too much effort for just one person. But those days are long gone and I seem to always have a hungry boy around. I get mad at myself every afternoon when I have to get off work and run to the grocery store and browse through the aisle looking for something to whip up really quick. I MUST DO BETTER. I know in the long run I will save tons of money and time if I just plan ahead.
- Say NO! - Let me elaborate. I have a hard time telling people no. To really anything...I'm determined that this year if I don't want to do something (within good reason) I can say no. It's okay if you aren't able to do everything.
- Keep growing my hair. - Resist the temptation to chop it off. I really want long beautiful locks! I can do this!!
- Wake up 10 minutes earlier and spend time praying and thanking God for all the blessings he has given me. I do pray but I want to do better and thanking God for the amazing life he has given me.
- Become a sponge at work. This sounds funny but I want to soak up everything I can about the industry I am in. Every.Single.Thing. There is so much to learn and if I want to be successful I feel like I need to challenge myself to learn everything I can.
- Become very active on the non-profit board I serve on. Really dig in and give my time, talents, and treasures to make a difference. (I am new to this board and have just been sitting back trying to learn the ropes, I'm ready to make things happen!)
- Work on making our master bedroom a beautiful room. I'm 70% happy with the way it looks but I'm thinking I want to completely redo everything.
- Paint kitchen cabinets.
I'm sure there are lots more things I need/should work on. But these is my top ten list. Hope everyone has a safe and Happy New Years!!
